Back of the Book

You Just Couldn't Count On A Woman

That's what Garrick Devlin believed when his wife deserted him after the war. Now he'd been deceived by a woman--again. The man he'd hired for his Texas newspaper had turned out to be a meddlesome female and a Yanker to boot! But her fiery beauty still attracted him, though he knew perfectly well that a woman couldn't be trusted....

Love saw with the heart, not the eyes. And Maggie's heart longed for Garrick Devlin and his young son. But would Garrick ever learn to trust her? Or would a foolish liaison from her past forever destroy their newfound chance at happiness?

Laurie Grant's Bio

Laurie Grant's writing career grew out of her voracious reading habits as a child, when, after reading all her library books, she began writing her own stories, first about animals. Then, as her reading tastes changed, so did her writing subjectsin the '60s she featured the Beatles as romantic heroes; then she discovered historical romances.

Her first published historical romance, Defiant Heart, a medieval, was published in 1987. Her sixth book, The Raven and the Swan, a Harlequin Historical novel, won the 1995 National Readers' Choice Award in the short historical division.

Laurie has been a full-time emergency room nurse for 28 years, and is a former paramedic and Lifeflight nurse. She now works in a family practice doctor's office while remaining part-time with the E.R. as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, or S.A.N.E. She says having two very diverse worlds keeps her more sane in each of them.

She is married to her own real-life hero and has two daughters, two stepdaughters, three grandchildren (with another on the way!), two horses, three dogs, two cats, and lives in rural central Ohio.
